One must repay good and ill; but why just to the person who did us good or ill?

For our self respect depends upon our ability to make requital, for good or for evil.

Discover the element of good in your enemy. And as you seek to hate him, find the center of goodness and place your attention there and you will take a new attitude.

Just as a line drawn on water with a stick will quickly vanish and will not last long; even so is human life like a line drawn on water. It is short, limited, and brief; it is full of suffering, full of tribulation. This one should wisely understand, one should do good and live a pure life; for none who is born can escape death.

Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.

Good people keep on walking whatever happens. They do not speak vain words and are the same in good fortune and bad. If one desires neither children nor wealth nor power nor success by unfair means, know such a one to be good, wise and virtuous.
